New roofs and full re-roofs in Swaffham
Swaffham sits about 16 miles from King's Lynn, reached off the A47, and that position shapes the roof replacement & new roofs we do here. Most of our the PE37 postcode district jobs involve Georgian market-town roofs and farm buildings, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Common roof problems around Swaffham
Georgian market-town roofs and surrounding farm buildings.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on Georgian market-town roofs, which then costs more than the original clearance would have.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Swaffham call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
We quote homes and small commercial premises on the same terms — inspection first, written specification second.
Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt below the tiles has torn or gone brittle, water reaching it runs straight into the loft. That is the point where re-covering beats another patch.

Roof Replacement & New Roofs FAQs
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- Will you need scaffold on a Swaffham property?
- For a full re-cover, yes — it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in PE37?
- Call 07437 005301 and we'll arrange an inspection. We advertise a 24/7 emergency call-out for active leaks and storm damage, and we'll tell you on the phone what's realistic rather than promise a fixed time.
- What does a roof replacement & new roofs quote in Swaffham cost?
- The inspection and the written quotation are free. The job price depends on the covering, the roof size, access and what we find under it — which is exactly why we won't price it over the phone.
Getting a quote
Budget for the parts nobody photographs — membrane, battens, ventilation and dry-fix ridge. They are what decides whether the new roof lasts, and they are itemised in our written specification.
